WIN A PLANETBOXROVER! Eco-Friendly Lunch Gear Review &GIVEAWAY

Don’t tell my hus­band, but I’m madly in love with my daughter’s Plan­et­Box Rover. I started lust­ing over the stain­less steel, “eco-friendly” lunch con­tainer years ago after spot­ting it on Face­book. On any given day, it seemed that I’d see a Plan­et­Box filled with the kind of school lunch that I aspire to: fresh, healthy, cre­ative, and col­or­ful. I wanted one badly but, let’s face it, they aren’t exactly cheap. About a year ago, I finally bit the bullet–and, as they say, the rest is history.

WHYOURPLANETBOXROCKS

So what exactly is so great about our Plan­et­Box? I thought you’d never ask.

* Foods stay sep­a­rate Thanks to seg­mented com­part­ments, foods don’t touch each other. In other words, no need to worry about (ewwww!) your child’s kiwis get­ting mixed up with her peas or (yuck!) straw­ber­ries get­ting mushed or turn­ing his sand­wich pink.

* Small con­tain­ers fit inside Want to pack yogurt, or another food with the poten­tial to get messy? Put it in one of the two small stain­less “dip­per” con­tain­ers that come with the system–they fit right inside (or in the outer pock­ets of the car­ry­ing case).

* Lunch looks yummy When it comes to a great meal, we all know that pre­sen­ta­tion is key. Plus, kids love choices! Research has shown that they eat bet­ter when pre­sented with a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent foods.

* No more plas­tic bag­gies You can ditch the Ziplocs, which are unhealthy for the envi­ron­ment (and can really add up cost-wise).

* It’s easy to clean Just pop it in the dish­washer and you’re done! Ours eas­ily fits in the lower rack.

* Con­ve­nient car­ry­ing case The case (which comes in a bunch of dif­fer­ent col­ors) has two out­side pock­ets where you can pack extra snacks or even a ther­mos of warm soup for an entire day’s worth of yumminess.

Our Plan­et­Box Rover sys­tem really is the best. That’s why I’m happy to be able to give YOU a chance to own one, too.

We have one Planet Box and love it so much! I really want one for my other school age son. I think my favorite thing about it is how easy it is to clean! Only one big tray instead of 20 lit­tle con­tain­ers with lids 🙂

Eat­ing healthy is impor­tant to me & for my fam­ily, & this does not stop whe. We leave the door. So being able to own a Plan­et­Box would be won­der­ful for this Mommy who packs for 2 kids, & a hus­band who eats many meals at work!!!

I would love to own one. We started Fg about a year ago and have noticed a huge dif­fer­ence. Last year I was just learn­ing about this so I wasn’t so strict about what the kids were eat­ing. But this year I am ded­i­cated to my kids eat­ing right and being suc­cess­ful in this and that lunch­box would sure help with con­tin­u­ing our suc­cess. I would love it if you picked me I have 2 chil­dren who love this.

I love this! This is SO much bet­ter than plas­tic bag­gies, which I am really try­ing to get rid of, and I’d like to not have ANY plas­tic con­tain­ers in my kids’ lunch­boxes. I espe­cially love how the food stays sep­a­rate — I am so tired of my son not eat­ing his lunch because one thing has “run into” another food item and there­fore he thinks it’s now gross. Plus, I love the addi­tional small con­tain­ers to hold dress­ing for veg­gies, or yogurt, which they eat plenty of. The price is steep, but if I love it enough I’ll def­i­nitely buy one for my other child:-) Ooh, I hope I win!!!!!

My 4 year old has a dis­ease that makes eat­ing very dif­fi­cult, there­fore he’d rather not. The Plan­et­Box Rover lunch set would give us a new, fun way to present his food, which always makes meal­time eas­ier! I love how each com­part­ment stays sep­a­rated, which is very help­ful with kids who have sen­sory issues and don’t want their foods to “touch”! I soooo hope I win this!!!!!! Have a great day!

I have been want­ing one for­ever, but it’s just not in our bud­get. I don’t feel great about the plas­tic con­tain­ers I’m using for my girls, but it’s what we’ve been stuck with. I would be so excited to win this!

Love your blog & have been fol­low­ing it on FB for quite some time. We have started a well­ness com­mit­tee at our school & our first healthy habits chal­lenges for stu­dents is in progress. Baby steps. Thank you! 🙂

Ive always been a healthy cook for my kid­dos but this past sum­mer the fam­ily went on a fruit and veg­gie jour­ney. We tried every type that my local farmer’s mar­ket and gro­cer sold. My mid­dle schooler was so inspired (and repulsed once return­ing back to cafe­te­ria lunches) that she is work­ing with her prin­ci­pal and teach­ers to sur­vey the stu­dent body about changes to the lunch room foods. She has also had vol­un­teers for her school gar­den idea. I would love for her to have this lunch kit to rein­force her pos­i­tive pro­mo­tion of healthy foods at school and let her be an exam­ple to her class­mates that eat­ing healthy can be tasty and fun!

The Plan­et­Box smooth design caught my eye a few years ago but the func­tion­al­ity of it is really where it’s at. I love the stain­less steel mak­ing it super easy to clean (noth­ing worse than a stinky lunch box) and the sep­a­rate food com­part­ments are nice too.

Hi,I am new to this eat­ing clean & healthy & reaaly trimg hard for myself & kids sake.They are lov­ing all the fruits &&star­ing to like the veg­gies 🙂 I would love to win one of these to pack for their lunches! Thank you !

I want a Plan­et­Box Rover because I like to give my daugh­ter options for lunch. This is a great solu­tion because it is a fun way to present the food and it is a good way to do some­thing great for the earth!

I’ve been eye­ing the lunch­box for over a year now. I really like that they are envi­ron­men­tally friendly and love the bento box style. What’s a plus is that the dip con­tain­ers fit INSIDE elim­i­nat­ing the need for a super large extra bulky lunch bag. The carry case looks neat too, I like that there are pock­ets on the out­side for addi­tional stor­age. I really hope to win this lunch­box for my son who is now in 4th grade! Then I’d only have to buy one more for my daugh­ter who will be in kinder­garten next year 🙂

Id love to win, because my son is just start­ing preschool and Id like to not get into the lunchtime rut of using bag­gies and prepack­aged food. He loves a vari­ety and I already enjoy fol­low­ing the mommy blogs that are geared toward mak­ing cool lunches. He is such a lit­tle foodie too. Always will­ing to try every­thing and loves most of it. He has a big appetite too, so this would be a great size for him.

These are fan­tas­tic! I’m always try­ing to find ways to pack my daughter’s lunch as “clean” as pos­si­ble! I’ve pur­chased a stain­less water bot­tle (which was sent home with a note that it was too tall to fit in the cubby and could we please pur­chase a smaller “typ­i­cal” one, ie. PLASTIC!) and the teacher insists I pack snack in a brown paper bag every day, sep­a­rate from her lunch. I had been send­ing in the same paper bag day after day (she was prob­a­bly the only kid in there with a wrinkly “soft” bag), but I was try­ing to waste as lit­tle as pos­si­ble. These are the best of ALL worlds. Reusable, stain­less, styl­ish (pink?!? Haz­aah!). I love ‘em!

I’d love to win this because with four chil­dren you can never have enough sup­plies to send a healthy lunch! I wanted to buy two of these for my two old­est for lunches this year but couldn’t afford it at te moment. This would be a great start!!

This would be per­fect for my daugh­ter. She is in Kinder­gar­den. We were pack­ing lunches at first but she says that there were to many boxes or bag­gies to open and some­times she looses the con­tain­ers. So she has been eat­ing school lunches. I have been look­ing for some­thing else like these bento boxes. But most are pricy. it would be nice to win one.

I would love to have this box for my daugh­ter. A friends of ours has one and loves it! We went for a less expen­sive, plas­tic bento-style box and it is dif­fi­cult to open and I don’t love that it’s plas­tic. I strive to keep my daugh­ters as healthy as can be but the cost of items like these is pro­hib­i­tive. I would love to win one!! Thanks for the opportunity.

I’d love to win one because my son packs his own lunch and with one glance, as opposed to hav­ing to open and look in mul­ti­ple plas­tic con­tain­ers, I could check over whether his lunch is “com­plete” and has the required 2 serv­ings of fruits and veg­gies, 1 serv­ing of pro­tein and at least 1 serv­ing of carbs that I require him to pack each day. I also think it would cut dras­ti­cally down on the wan­der­ing around the kitchen aim­lessly time while he’s think­ing about what he might make as at least he could con­cen­trate just on the fridge and the food cup­board and wouldn’t have to make mul­ti­ple trips to the con­tainer drawer.

I would love to win this lunch box for my son! His birth­day is com­ing up soon and this would be a great gift!!!!
Recently i started pay­ing more atten­tion to every­thing around my fam­ily; we try to eat more healthy, use less plas­tic bags and water bot­tles etc. so this Plan­et­Box would be a great addi­tion to our routine!!!!

I would love one of these for my younger son. For my older son, I have used Ziploc sec­tioned plas­tic con­tain­ers for a sand­wich and two sides. Younger son is wheat and dairy free, so no sand­wiches. I have been par­ti­tion­ing the big sec­tion with sil­i­con cup­cake cups, but it isn’t ideal if we have wet things.

My kids pack their healthy lunches each night but my 9 year old is the one that is totally into it with cut­ting her sand­wich, veg­gies & fruit var­i­ous shapes. She would LOVE the rover lunch box to help orga­nize her 5 food groups in her lunch. She uses col­or­ful sil­i­cone cup­cake cups to divide her food groups now and those aren’t fun to wash & some­times get stuck in the dis­posal– yikes! The rover would keep every­thing in its place with one piece to clean. It would make eat­ing real, whole & healthy a lot more easier!

I would love to win a Planet Box as I have been on the fence about buy­ing one for over a year now! I would love for the Planet Box to win me over with it’s qual­ity and design.…as I have many other fam­ily mem­bers to buy one for and I fre­quently pro­vide lunch box item rec­om­men­da­tions to other moms. I post about my kids’ lunches on https://www.facebook.com/wholesomerdmom and I have fre­quently thought about how fit­ting a Planet Box might be.…..I just haven’t taken the plunge. There­fore, win­ning one would be absolutely per­fect! Thanks so much for this awe­some giveaway 🙂

My son will be going to preschool “lunch bunch” this year and I’d love for him to be able to see his entire, col­or­ful lunch in front of him instead of bag­gies that could be hard to open. Love this! Thank you!

I have been want­ing to pur­chase a Rover com­plete set for almost a year now. I have seen the many cute and healthy lunches that are packed and it would make my grown up lunch life so much more fun! After all, grown ups need to eat lunch too.

I have two dia­betic grandson’s, that I have cus­tody of, these would be great for our 3 month check-ups at the dia­betic clinic that takes all day vis­its. So much bet­ter to pack a lunch then going thought fast food places.

I love this eco-friendly lunch­box from Plan­et­Box because I care about the envi­ron­ment and want to teach my son to live a healthy sus­tain­able lifestyle as well. The Plan­et­Box Com­plete Rover set would be the per­fect way to teach him those val­ues as well as the per­fect way to pack his healthy lunches!! 🙂

You have no idea how many times I’ve been on Ama­zon try­ing to find the PERFECT lunch­box. To no avail. But this is it!. Dish­wash­er­friendly and with big enough com­part­ments. Thanks for the scoop!

I hate using plas­tic bag (wait, I never use them). I use Tup­per­ware con­tain­ers but the lunch bag gets bulky with all the con­tain­ers. The Plan­et­box Rover is great because every­thing goes in one con­tainer, which would solve my bulky problem!

I would love to own this for my chil­dren to be able to take healthy lunches to school in this fab­u­lous box! I hate pack­ing lunches with lots of plas­tics that go to waste, but some­times there is no other choice. This would fix that problem!

This is so cool. I love how it’s an all in one set, and easy to clean. My chil­dren really dis­like school lunches, but their lunch­bags are messy and every­thing gets mushed and spilled. This would solve that dilema! Thanks!

I would love to win this b/c I home school my 9 year old & I have a 1 year old. There­fore they are with me 24/7…and they BOTH seem to become hun­gry to a ridicu­lous extreme at the most inop­por­tune time. With this I could pack them both a good lunch to take.

I’m inter­ested in win­ning this because sim­ply put, it’s awe­some.…. My step daugh­ter would abso­lutly love this.… Love the lit­tle indi­vid­ual com­part­ments and absolutely love the stain­less steel. This is such a attrac­tive lunch set. She would be beyond thrilled and I love the fact it’s eco con­scious! Thanks for the chsne to win! And thanks for the great review

I would love to win this for my grand­daugh­ter whose lunch is always get­ting smooshed and/or stepped on before lunchtime. Gen­er­ally this hap­pens while on the bus in the morn­ing. This would be a per­fect solution.

Susan — I’m very sorry, but the give­away has ended. I will be giv­ing away some Kids Kon­serve stainless-steel water bot­tles and food kozies in a cou­ple weeks. If you’re inter­ested in other re-usable lunch gear, please check back!

About School Bites

I cre­ated this blog to raise aware­ness and start a dia­logue about the var­i­ous issues involved in school food. By writ­ing about it, I hope to pro­vide par­ents and edu­ca­tors with ideas and inspi­ra­tion for mak­ing healthy changes in their own schools. Since healthy eat­ing habits start at home, I also address com­mon feed­ing chal­lenges faced by parents.
